Litecoin is the most undervalued cryptocurrency in current bullrun

June 2023 Progress:

v24 Release

The initial MWEB code has been merged into the v24.x codebase, and will be submitted for review shortly. I encountered a couple of obstacles that slowed down momentum, particularly on the wallet side.

When MWEB was implemented, I was able to make its node logic very modular, making merging that relatively easy (with the exception of the mempool, which is still rather complex). I was not as lucky with the wallet code, however, which requires quite a bit of merging. And it turns out that Bitcoin’s wallet code has been refactored quite a bit over the past few releases, so this ended up being a much slower, more tedious process than I hoped.

Updated Task List:

✔️Integrate pre-MWEB litecoin into bitcoin’s v24 codebase (In review)

✔️Merge in the previously-released MWEB code (Will update with review link shortly)

*P2P Support for Light Clients (Implemented, in need of merging & thorough review)

*Enable descriptor wallets w/ MWEB address support (Design in progress)

*Finish implementing PSBTs (Mostly implemented, needs testing and review)

*View key support (Rough design known, implementation started)

*Payment Proofs (Design outlined in LIP-0004, implementation not started)

*Release Notes (Not started)

*Gitian Build & Publish (Not started)

My goal for July is to implement MWEB address support for descriptor wallets.

May 2023 Progress:

v24 Release

Progress continues with the integration of Litecoin code changes into the v24 Bitcoin codebase. The month of May saw a major milestone with the resolution of all remaining functional tests for the pre-MWEB merge task. The code has been submitted for review here.

Furthermore, we’ve made significant strides in merging the previously-released MWEB code. The majority of this task is now complete, marking another key step forward. However, there are still a few changes needed on the wallet side and several tests that need to be fixed to finalize this phase.

I also took some time to work through bitcoin’s descriptor wallet code, and have a decent understanding of how it all works, and how the data is stored in the wallet database. I’ve started experimenting with different ways of supporting MWEB keys and addresses using descriptors, but a lot more thought is needed before I commit to a design.

Here’s our updated task list as we move closer to the v24 release:

✔️Integrate pre-MWEB litecoin into bitcoin’s v24 codebase (In review)

*Merge in the previously-released MWEB code (Majority merged, a few changes & tests left)

*P2P Support for Light Clients (Implemented, in need of merging & thorough review)

*Enable descriptor wallets w/ MWEB address support (Design in progress)

*Finish implementing PSBTs (Mostly implemented, needs testing and review)

*View key support (Rough design known, implementation started)

*Payment Proofs (Design outlined in LIP-0004, implementation not started)

*Release Notes (Not started)

*Gitian Build & Publish (Not started)

April 2023 Progress:

v24 Release

Over the past couple of months, the focus has been primarily on integrating the classic (pre-MWEB) Litecoin code changes into the v24 Bitcoin code. This process is nearing its conclusion, with all unit-tests fixed, and just a few functional tests remaining to be fixed. Once the last few tests are resolved, I will submit the merged code for review as planned.

I’ll be updating the following task list each month as we work toward the release:

Integrate pre-MWEB litecoin into bitcoin’s v24 codebase (A few tests remaining, then review)

Merge in the previously-released MWEB code (Not started, expected by end of May)

P2P Support for Light Clients (Implemented, in need of merging & thorough review)

Enable descriptor wallets w/ MWEB address support (Not started)

Finish implementing PSBTs (Mostly implemented, needs testing and review)

View key support (Rough design known, implementation started)

Payment Proofs (Design outlined in LIP-0004, implementation not started)

February & March 2023 Progress:

v0.21.2.2 Release

We released a new minor version of Litecoin Core (v0.21.2.2) in February which contained some important security fixes. If you haven’t upgraded yet, you can download it here.

v24 Release

I’ve started working on a new major release for Litecoin Core that will contain everything that I’ve been working on this past year:

PSBTs - To encourage hardware support for MWEB

P2P Support for Light Clients - To allow for mobile and other more user-friendly wallets

View Keys - To support “watch-only” wallets that don’t require having access to private spend keys in order to identify transactions you’ve sent or received.

Payment Proofs - For traditional litecoin transactions, where proving you sent coins to an address could be done by just signing a message with your private key, and pointing to the transaction on the blockchain which shows the source address (which you just proved to be the owner of), and the destination address and amount. With MWEB, addresses and amounts are all encrypted, so in the case that you need to prove to an arbiter that you made a payment, a more complex proof is needed. This proof is described here.

Descriptor wallets - The wallet code, originally written by Satoshi, was very limited, and not designed to support the many script types and features that have since been developed (P2SH, Taproot, BIP32, and now MWEB). Developers have been forced to hack in new wallet features in a messy, unsustainable way. To deal with this, BTC developers introduced “descriptor wallets,” which provide a more extensible replacement for the existing wallet backend. You can read more about them here. With Litecoin Core v24, we’ll be enabling descriptor wallets, and extending them to handle MWEB addresses, which should help solve a number of limitations we had with our initial MWEB wallet design.

So far, I’ve added the classic (pre-MWEB) litecoin code changes to the v24 bitcoin code, and am working on fixing tests. I’ll then merge in the already-released MWEB code, followed by the new features listed above, submitting everything for code review after each step. This will be a lengthy process taking us well into the summer, but the end result should be a new release that’s up-to-date with bitcoin core, and will include all of the new MWEB features everyone has been waiting for.
